Management states that, being a Show Cause Notice, the matter is open for further submissions before the relevant authorities, and the Company is in the process of responding within the stipulated time mentioned in the notice.
How to read it
A show cause notice is a proposal by the tax authority, not a final demand. The outcome depends on the Company's reply and the authority's order. The amount named is small relative to a company of this size, and the disclosure was made under Regulation 30 of SEBI LODR on litigation and disputes.
